Thoughts about following Jesus

Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.

Father God, You are my Creator and Provider which makes You worthy of my eternal praise and worship. Thank You for loving me and taking the steps necessary to make reconciliation possible. May Your patience, compassion, and love be the example that I follow.

I confess that I don’t like to be inconvenienced and I tend to grumble and complain when things don’t go my way. Teach me to do things without complaining and to show Your love in all circumstances. I want my life to be an example of what it means to follow Jesus.

Lord, I need Your wisdom and guidance to navigate this world with all of its temptations and trials. Fill me with spiritual wisdom and understanding so I can live a life worthy of Jesus and become a light in the darkness. Apart from You I have light to shine. Light my life so I shine brightly for You.
